Default "carb crashing"
well 3 weeks ago I decided I would cut my carbs down from about 280 to 80 carbs a day. I'll admit I've never done this before. After the first week I was feeling it pretty heavy, you know the tiredness. Here I am at week 3 and I've got more energy before. Which is natural, because as everyone know, once you cut the carbs all your body has to do is basically eat the fat on your body. Well I'm actually doing cardio for the first time in my life, I know it's sad but all i've every done is strength train and that was it. So I'm doing cardion 5x a week and strength training 5x a week (one body part a day). So at week three i've cut 17lbs and no I'm not on atm... It's probably mostly water. But I've had to buy more jeans/shorts because they're falling off of me now. I'll say this I'm only about 5'5 3 weeks ago I was at 187 or so. About 27% bf, now today I'm at 170... Hopefully I can stay i this range for a bit. Got ALOT more fat to cut tho, upper abs are starting the show, but lower not so much.
